Ahh used Fido and missed this one! Frick! And per the terms seems like now a life time lockout for Amex checking bonuses right?

From terms: You are not eligible for the Welcome Bonus if you have an existing or previously have had a Rewards Checking Account.

Wealthfront is working for DD. No special memos, just transfer between accounts with the same name

Email received and bonus credited today, 6/25.I used Merrill Edge in March, Morgan Stanley the April and in AmEx chat they said neither qualified. I did WISE (personal) last month and that seems to have done the trick.
